First Real Estate exhibition in Lanka launched

Another first was created by Pico Events, better known as the Sri Lanka Exhibition and Convention Centre (SLECC) and "Home and Property Show" when the first ever real estate exhibition in Sri Lanka was launched recently.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Minister of Housing and Common Amenities, Ferial Ashroff. The event was supported by the Ministry of Construction and Engineering Services, Ministry of Export Development and Internal Trade, Board of Investment and Bar Association of Sri Lanka.

The Minister commended the initiative taken by Pico Events in planning and organising such an event which filled a void in the country. She said it was wonderful to have a place where you gain knowledge of the services under one roof and a platform for the industry to express themselves.

The event was uniquely positioned and exclusively focused on the concept and theme of the event a "Real Estate Exhibition". Almost every visitor who walked in was with a specific need in property, housing or construction, which made the efforts of the exhibitors a more concentrated one and the chances of generating results through the many encounters were high. The Sri Lankan consumer's lifestyle has been a rapid escalation compared to the recent past and they endeavour to educate themselves prior to entering into transactions of this nature, which was evident at the 'Home and Property Show. The event also showcased stalls from the Bar Association of Sri Lanka, with a panel of lawyers providing all the support and advice in every aspect of legal formalities to make that all important housing decision.
